[edit] Contact information

Firstly Nichalp, your edit was incorrectly labelled as minor. Labelling edits as minor is a special privilege granted to registered users, and one that must be used with caution, because some editors configure their watchlist to hide minor edits. They would not like it at all if an edit they would like to know about was missed because it was labelled as minor. Minor should only be used for completely non-controversial edits, such as grammar/spelling corrections, spacing adjustments etc. You were removing a whole section, which is not an example of a minor edit.

Secondly, I think the address of a school does belong in an article about it. I've seen it in other articles, and it also seems to add value to the article. Consider the following scenario: a journalist wants to do a story on Hare School. Considering Wikipedia's eminence as an information source, he looks up this article for background. Wouldn't he like it if not only did he get solid information about the school, but also the contact information so he could go there and do the story, instead of having to look everywhere? Or consider a man who wants to join the alumni of his childhood school, but before going wants to verify by phone if an alumni association actually exists. For them the section is very helpful.

[edit] Assess

A good start but not yet a B. Some of the trivia needs trimming (eg, lists of non-notable staff, school uniform) but most importantly you need some proper references to qualify for a B. Have a look at La Martiniere Lucknow as an example of a good B article. Ask at WikiProject Schools for help if you get stuck. Dahliarose 19:25, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
